When thinking about satires, you must think about the PAGE principle. It is an important thing to think about when making your own satire. Another thing to think about is the CRAP principle. These two elements combined make up the main focus when designing something. I made a satire of a flyer that I did for Best Buddies. I used different aspects about the club to design a flyer that would be appealing to look at. The information on the flyer is exaggerated and humorous. It is good to look at different satires when thinking about making your own. Some of them can be offensive, but many are made to poke fun at different subjects.
Example 1: This is a satire of a poster displaying Disney characters. This poster is taking well known Disney characters and twisting their roles. It makes each of the Disney characters posing in a way that is different than they usually would be. It is poking fun at these different characters. The layout of this poster is a little unorganized. The material seems to run together. It may be easier for the reader to follow if it was broken down into smaller parts. The colors and pictures used give the reader something interesting to look at. It is a very eye catching poster and very comical. It is a good example to look at when thinking of something to use as a satire. This artist used well known Disney characters which makes it something the viewer would want to look at. Many people know these characters and would be interested to see how the artist used them in this type of satire. Many of the characters are not seen in their usual forms. It is portraying different characteristics for these well-known characters.
Example 2: This is a satire dealing with smoking. Most people usually look for and read books on how to quit smoking. This satire shows the opposite, it gives ways to start smoking. It pokes fun at the smoking community. The top part reads, "A step-by-step guide to smoking twenty cigarettes a day." People do not want to start smoking. This ad is taking what st usually said and twisting it. The design of the book is eye catching. The colors and pictures provide viewers with an interesting visual to look at. The title of the book is written in a larger font, which helps it to stand out. The title itself is also very eye catching. It is not a normal title and would catch someone's attention. They also add some text that continues to poke fun at smoking. Above the title is a phrase about a premium tumor. The person who designed the cover used different words that are often associated with smoking to make these two things fit together. It is a good example to look at when thinking about how to phrase different things on your personal satire.
Example 3: This is a satire about the president. The author of this poster used the cover of a well-known movie to make a satire about Barack Obama. The designer of this poster is very creative. They used a movie cover to portray the president in a different light. This satire may seem controversial to some people. However, it gives us a good look at how we can use famous works of art and covers to make a satire. Twisting the words to make it fit what you are doing is creative. The colors of this poster and the picture on the poster help it to stand out. This poster would catch the eye of viewers who are passing by. The words on the poster help to get the author's views across. They use the proximity element to make the words and ideas on the page stand out and make it easier for the reader to follow.
When making my satire, I thought about the people who would be viewing the poster. I used different colors and pictures to catch the attention of students who are walking by. I redid my previous poster that was made to get students involved with this club. In this satire the wording on the poster is twisted. All things that people would not expect to about a club are on this poster. It pokes fun at some of the points that the club actually consists of. A lot of the points made on this poster are exaggerated for a better effect. I tried to keep the colors constant throughout my poster like Example 1. Another thing i focused on was using words that were connected to this club. This is similar to Example 2 and how it uses different words that are related to the topic. I also edited the two personal pictures on the page to show the theme that is presented throughout the poster.
